Lyrics for The Evening Train by Johnny Cash

The Evening Train - Lyrics

The baby's eyes are red from weepingIt's little heart is filled with painAnd Daddy cried they're taking MamaAway from us on the evening train

I heard the laughter at the depotBut my tears fell like the rainWhen I saw them place that long white casketIn the baggage coach of the evening trainAs I turned to walk away from the depotIt seemed I heard her call my nameTake care of baby and tell him darlingThat I'm going home on the evening train

I pray that God will give me courageTo carry on til we meet againIt's hard to know she's gone foreverThey're carrying her home on the evening train
